As in his other versions of Calculus, Stewart clarifies complex concepts, encourages creative thinking, and emphasizes problem solving. He treats students as participants in learning calculus, and inspires them to focus on mathematical reasoning, rather that rote memorization. Concise opening descriptions, linking summaries, and careful definitions help students minimize confusion and grasp ideas. At the same time, Stewart's emphasis on the creative aspects of calculus leads students beyond the basic process of learning theorems, axioms, and proofs. New to this edition are the challenging "Problems Plus" and "Applications Plus" sections, and a more flexible organization. This book should be of interest to students studying engineering, science, and mathematics.

This best selling author team explains concepts simply and clearly, without glossing over difficult points. Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, so that when students finish the course, they have a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. This comprehensive, evenly paced book provides complete coverage of the function concept and integrates substantial graphing calculator materials that help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. The authors' attention to detail and clarity, as in James Stewart's market-leading Calculus text, is what makes this text the market leader.
